As of my checkup this afternoon, I am 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced so all the crazy craps and bloody show from the weekend were actually doing something productive! I was ready to be disappointed and have the doc say I was not much more dilated than last week so yeah for progress!
I am to be induced tomorrow, heading to the hospital around 6am but I have been having contractions since around 2pm and they are now about 8 minutes apart so we may head in before the morning LOL!
We can't wait to meet you little one! We love you and we will be smooching you soon!

40+ Weeks Pregnant....
My due date came and went on Sunday. Had a checkup yesterday will little change to my progress. No change in the .5 cm dilated but my cervix has thinned a bit more... 70% effaced as compared to last week's 60% (woop-tee-doo!). Cornbread is still head down and really low so that's good. Her heart beat is still strong and she is still busting a move in there although not as frequent or strong kicks wise cause the space is so confined now for her. She twists and turns and will stretch her legs causing her to push out her booty and make my belly morph into a moving alien cone-head shape. Damen and I pat her booty and tell her to put it back in so momma doesn't get any stretch marks LOL!
So the waiting game continues. Next appointment is next Monday, Oct. 5th, and if I don't go into labor by then, they will schedule me for an induction by the end of next week. I hope she gets the party started on her own because induction increases you chance of needing a Cesarean... so come on Cornbread, stop being so shy and come on out! Sleeping sucks as it is so she needs to come out and share the insomnia fun with her Daddy! hehehe...
(She's getting extra nibbles and tickles for making us wait though!)

What a kick!
21 Weeks Pregnant
Until now it has just been nudges and weird swishy, turning motions in my lower abs... it is really hard to describe. But Just now, as I was looking down at my laptop, I noticed a popcorn like pop of my tummy and I could actually see my tummy bounce up really quickly! It was one quick pop of a bounce and I thought I felt that yesterday afternoon after coming home from work as sitting watching TV but wasn't sure if I was seeing what I was seeing. But it just happened again a few minutes ago and this time I saw the motion as well as felt it! I had my hand over my belly button area trying to see if I could feel it if it were to happen again... but no joy, there was no repeat performance.
Damn it! Hubby isn't home this week either! Uggg! Totally would have had him over to come feel if he can feel it! Hopefully by the end of the week when he comes home it will start to happen more regularly and gets to see it too. This is so exciting!
So far as of last week's appointment, I have gained a total of 20 lbs. I blame 5 lbs of it on constipation though! ;o) That's not bad at the halfway point. I need to get walking more often though but its so hard to get up early to walk before work and the heat of the day since I am not sleeping through the night any more... have to get up 1-2 times each night to pee and its hard from me to fall back asleep. Then after a full day's work and the long commute, I am too tired to do much of anything. I need to try harder to keep my weight gain within a reasonable range.
As soon as Hubby gets home with the camera, I will post a first belly pic. I am also trying to learn how to rip the DVD with our last sonogram on it to post a video of little Corn-Muffin in motion.

First baby pics!!!
I haven't been able to keep up with blogging between work and extreme exhaustion... but here are the 12 week updates:
We had our first sonogram last Tues and are waiting for the results from the first trimester screening... but so far everything looks to be normal (thank God!). Here are Cornbread's first baby pics!
He/she was measuring 12 weeks & 2 days as of 3/17... 3 more days than my charting calculations but maybe Cornbread's just a fast grower ;o)
It was so amazing seeing him/her move the little arms and legs as the technician moved the sonogram probe to get the right angle for measuring the little's growth progress. It’s so crazy surreal to think this little life is living and growing inside of me! I think it has finally sunk in for D... he's gotten all protective and super gooberlishly mushy lately (hehehe). We have sent out announcement to everyone... so it's official... we are going to be parents! OMG!
It makes it more real with visible proof of the miracle growing inside (besides the constipation, mild aches and nausea). In about 4 more weeks I will start to be able to feel the little one move! I am in awww of the life we are creating!
